The Symbolism of Water Many works of literature use symbols to represent abstract ideas. One symbol that is commonly used is water. Water is a viable symbol because it is versatile. It can be used to represent many different ideals because water in itself is ever changing.
any milk or milk by-products, such as cheeses, ice cream, butter, etc is considered dairy. Soy milk is okay, as is rice milk. Eggs are considered dairy, but as they don't come from a cow, I am not sure that would be included in your excluding dairy--same goes for goat's milk and it's by-products.
In general, 1 cup of milk, yogurt, or soymilk (soy beverage), 1 Â½ ounces of natural cheese, or 2 ounces of processed cheese can be considered as 1 cup from the Dairy Group. The table below lists specific amounts that count as 1 cup in the Dairy Group towards your daily recommended intake.
